McCain: “We are winning in Iraq”

I think it’ll be interesting to see what the response is to that statement. Earlier this year, Senator Harry Reid told Americans that, in his opinion, the was was already lost. Now McCain, who was long a critic of the Bush administration’s handling of the war, is saying we are winning, and every serious observer is at least discussing the very real progress that has been made over the last few months. So what will the Democrats say now that it’s no longer tenable to claim that we are losing the war? Will they continue to deny that any progress is being made? As the boss pointed out earlier today with respect to Obama’s performance on Meet the Press, it seems the Democratic candidates for president would prefer to talk about anything but the current situation in Iraq–and that they “are in the ridiculous position of being more anti-war now that we’re winning than they were when we were losing.” Whatever happened to that “reality-based community?”
